San Simeon Lodge

- Queen suites are renovated with fresh paint, new carpet, and clean furniture. Our room was on the 1st floor and had a fantastic view of the ocean. Take in mind though that these rooms DO face the parking lot, so you’ll get cars obstructing the view sometimes. This wasn’t a problem for us since we were out most of the day and only at the hotel early morning and evening. It was actually convenient to park our car so close to our room. - Bathrooms are clean and spacious. Although our water faucet was mislabeled (cold water was actually hot and vice versa), what mattered most was that there was no mold or mildew in the shower stall, which I’m a huge stickler about. The bathroom could use a heater, but if you heat up the main room the heat will seep through the door, so it’s ok - Comfortable! Beds were not too firm or soft, but “just right”, as Goldliocks would say - Pet friendly! Our dog enjoyed the ocean view as much as we did. - Friendly, welcoming, and accommodating staff who answered our smallest requests – they brought us hot water for tea, gave us extra keys, and even upgraded us to a larger room for a lower price.

Good location if in town for Hearst Castle or doing the coastal highway drive. Quick walk across the road to the beach, although you do have to walk across a very high-speed road. We were provided with discount vouchers to eat at the adjoining restaurant which was good. Was very handy to have washing and drying machines available

Across the street from the beach, restaurant & bar on site as well as a liquor/ convenient store & Cambria right down the road. The room was clean & the beds were comfy. They've done a lot of updates & it looks very nice. I've been coming here for years & will continue to.

All staff were very helpful, particularly front desk manager. He arranged for us to have a breakfast "deal" at the restaurant on-site, which was very convenient. He also had answers to all our questions about local places we'd planned on visiting...The hotel location is perfect and the parking was great. The beds were really nice and comfy and the linens seemed very fresh.

Loved the location, beach is literally across the street from the beach. Definitely kids friendly, my two little ones enjoyed it. Quiet time is at 10pm and it is very quiet and peaceful, you will only hearing the waves crash which is so relaxing. Staff were awesome, very welcoming and friendly, also informative. The room was very clean and cozy. This was our 2nd time back and we just had the best time like the first time we stayed. Just an overall a clean, relaxing and a family friendly place to stay and reasonable price. Highly recommended. Will be back.
